This sounds yummy!This sounds yummy! To those who had their squash burst: Make sure to pierce in many places before microwaving. I love spaghetti squash with frozen meatballs and a jar of my favorite spaghetti sauce, such a quick meal. I've also used spaghetti squash in place of white rice in dishes where you use the rice under veggies and meat cooked in a sauce, including Chinese to go. Sure cuts down on refined carbs.

This is delicious and re-heats well.This is delicious and re-heats well. I've made it 3 times and people have loved it every time. Next time I will cook the squash with plenty of time to let it cool before I have to prep the finished dish because juggling a steaming spaghetti squash didn't go well. This has made me consider other "spaghetti squash as substitute for pasta" recipes because it's so delicious!

Another suggestion... do not use cut & seed lengthwise...put it in steamer basket in pot of water on stovetop.. cooks very fast that way too !

Not wanting to freeze it immediately, I found this recipe, and actually had left over marinara sauce and ground beef in my frig.
I ended up using an oval ceramic dish (what would be equivalent to a 9x13 pan) for my dish, using the fairly large squash that I had just baked for the "crust" and doubling the meat sauce ingredients, adding a package of sliced portabella mushrooms I had forgotten about in my vegetable drawer. I used only fresh purple basil for the seasoning, not adding nearly enough garlic for my taste. It was still delicious, and I already plan to make it again using the already prepared second "banana" squash I have just thrown in my freezer. I now have enough lunch to last me the entire week.

This recipe was great alternative to regular spaghetti.This recipe was great alternative to regular spaghetti. I loved how we eating a vegetable instead of pasta. I did have to adjust the cooking times though. My squash busted open in the microwave around the 10 minute mark. Also my cheese was already starting to brown around the 20 min. mark in the oven. It was definitely done in 20 mins. We will definitely make this again.

I put the squash in my vegetable spinner as it is crucial to remove as much water as possible to prevent a very watery sauce after/while baking.

It weighed 2.9 # which I thought was close to the listed 3#. I looked at it at 9 min and then kabluee, yes I poked it with a fork many times. Otherwise it was good, except for the mess in the micro.
